Google Rolls Out Two Nifty Tools for Developers

In between working on Google Apps for Government and tweaking Gmail’s UI, Google still found time to launch two tools for developers last week. One is focused on making fonts easier to work with, while the other is a neat little embeddable image viewer for Web sites.

Google Font Previewer

If you use the Google font directory, you’ll love this. Preview any font in the Google font directory with the click of a button, then edit it until it looks just the way you want it to — change font size or spacing, add decorations or shadow, and so on. When you’ve got the font looking exactly right, the previewer generates a block of code containing the stylesheet link and CSS that you can drop right into your page.
